Great French Challenge 2022

I did Butter this morning. One of my fav workouts. I’m not sure why. :man_shrugging:

I’m having a hard time swapping them into my current training plan, but I am getting there one day at a time.

Thanks for the updates and sounds like we’re enjoying some suffering as we watch the suffering…

We have limited this challenge to July :slight_smile:

Well it’s only 10 rides away fellow Sufferlandrian :smirk: :wink:

Get well soon! Drink up loads of fluids and take this opportunity to rest and recover as much as you can. The flogging stations will still here when you’re all well. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So, where can I see my progress towards the badge? I don’t see the badge it on the Retool awards progress list. And the badge isn’t clickable in the app.

Sir Reid was the master of Retool. Not sure who has taken this task on now that he’s not with Wahoo anymore :disappointed:

@Glen.Coutts Challenge badges were not historically on Retool. I do see other recently added workouts there so something is happening despite Reid’s departure.

Ahh, I just figured they were in retool but hidden from our prying eyes.

Do the challenge rides have to be at 100 percent?

I had all of the rides for the challenge done except Cobbler, then I tested positive for COVID a little over a week ago. Not really any symptoms other than a very low fever for a few hours and sneezing fits that were probably actually allergies, but I took 4 days off the trainer, and then did a few increasingly long Zone 2 rides. Did Recharger followed by GCN Torque Monster yesterday with no apparent ill effects, and was hoping to try Cobbler in a few days, with the option of reducing intensity if necessary. I probably won’t dial it back, I have yet to resort to that since I began using SYSTM, but it would be reassuring to know that it is an option, and yet motivating to know that it is not…

No. You just have to do it. Intensity is not a factor.

Really wish the progress was shown somewhere, tho. :-/

@emacdoug Agreed - it would be nice to bake that feature into the badges tab at some point.

What is Retool?

@ErickT Use your SYSTM login details to check status on your badges.

@emacdoug Congrats - I flamed out last week after fitting in The Trick, Butter and The Wretched and then doing a tough 3 hour MTB ride. I am on a deload week now which I really needed. Next week I will get the last 3 done and will probably dial them down a bit.

It was definitely a challenge fitting in these workouts this month on short notice.

I s’pose that’s why they never called it The Stroll Along The Champs-Élysées in Search of Delightful French Pastries :wink:

Edit: though if they did, I’d have the badge :slight_smile:
